    Ilona, looks like you had a great time at RIotFest (and I know just where that road sign is). Gordy knocked back his fair share of Lemmys,

    Cami, you look great and little Joey is not so "little" anymore--getting SO tall!!

    Did you see Fry the Coop featured on ABC7 today? Your cousin (nephew?) demoed chicken & waffles. The place is a full-on chain now, with the closest branch to me being in the Wells/Wacker market area in the NE Loop. Opening a West Town (SE of Wicker Park/Noble Sq.) location--that's my voice teacher's 'hood (we do lessons online, as parking sux on his block) so I will clue him in when it opens. I can't eat fried chicken any more (dang carbs!) but I am not above peeling off the batter coating to expose the super-juicy meat beneath. In fact, it's the only way I can stand chicken breast--otherwise, it's just too dry.

    The Woodfield SUV human pinball is under observation at a local hospital's psych ward. He might not be charged, as nobody was seriously hurt, the meds he was on were apparently taken as prescribed, so he lacked the mental capacity to form a criminal intent. Amazingly, all the mall's "non-anchor" entrances had those post-9/11 concrete anti-vehicle barriers, but not the Sears entrance. The anchor store's entrances are their own, not mall, property and they have the option to protect them or not. Betcha Sears is gonna cough up the bucks now and put them up.

    Gordy had to have Leslie drive him to work down in the Loop today: his CTA line (Brown) and Purple are out of service after two trains collided near the Sedgwick/North Ave. station this morning. If the damaged train cars haven't been detached and towed to a repair siding by midnight, he'll have to walk 1/2 mi. to the Red line, change to the Brown (running to/from 3 stops north of the accident scene) or take a Lyft home. No injuries have been reported...that will change when my legal-profession brethren start coming out of the woodwork (cynical, eh? You be the judge).

    We have a new BCO sister, though she hasn't divulged her handle yet: ABC7 meteorologist Tracy Butler (joining her colleague, traffic/events reporter Roz Varon). Yesterday she announced that after a routine mammo, she was diagnosed at Christmas. She had surgery & rads (her radioloigical oncologist was her guest on the morning news yesterday) but didn't say whether she's on endocrine therapy.

    Last night Bob & I went to his friend & colleague's wake down in the SW burbs--we didn't stay for the long Greek Orthodox service--and had dinner at Cooper's Hawk Winery in Oak Lawn. DOTD: I had their Lux Sparkling cuvee (California, classic brut Champagne blend & flavor profile). Bob had the sparkling rosé which--contrary to the server's description--had no sweetness and was brut yet fruity,

    Mornin ladies,

    OK is it officially fall??? Cuz I just don't feel it, but u gals keep on saying it. Oy and Joey has been in bed for 3 days sick as a dog. So I don't go near him right now. Jazzy he hasn't been on the puter at all, so he didn't forget he's just so sick.

    Sandy Joe Fontana is my cousin's <the one that just passed away> grandson, just like Dan my boss and my granddaughter works for Joe in Elmhurst, he's such a nice man. They are both in their early 30's and work very hard and the food is delish. I think this is his 4th store. The waffles and chicken are the best. Wow interesting about the guy who drove thru the mall and then the train situation. Jeez we sound like a zoo of some kind.

    I'm just noticing how dark it is now, it seems like all of a sudden it happened.

    I took another call in my sleep yesterday, good thing the number is on the phone. Bob took care of it as usual, cuz I couldn't read one word of what I wrote. This is getting recockulous I'm doing it more and more. Even tho he tells me he luvs me he's got to be tired of this.

    I've got to set up for work now

    Hello Ladies!

    I survived my fourth PET scan. The group in that department is so damn cheerful. I am a bit grouchy as I have had no carbs or sugar for over 24 hours! This is why I admire ChiSandy for her self control. The nurse did hit some scar tissue in my arm when putting in the IV. This upsets me a bit. Anyway, the process was painless as usual.

    Last night was the Kids (adults 36-40 yrs) coming for dinner. I could not have any fruit or sugar and verylow carbs. I decided to buy a whole beef tenderloin. I trimmed it myself into eight filets and a small “roast”. I froze three filets and the roast The kids had salad, mushrooms, steak, and garlic bread. I had steak and broccoli. Also NO ALCOHOL. Today, I have since the scan, had donuts, three cups of coffee with sugar and will have garlic bread with my homemade turkey noodle soup I wish I could catch up on my alcohol consumption, but have chemo on Friday and want my blood counts to be good.

    Jazzy, my 86 yr old Aunt is going to New Mexico for the balloon festival! She is traveling with her daughter and will not be actually flying in a balloon.

    Cami, Joey does look like a nice, loving young man. Sorry he is sick. I think there is some bug going around so be careful and stay healthy.

    Happy Hump Day to everyone! I am playing cards tonight and will see the Downton Abbey movie tomorrow. Then Friday I meet with the MO to get the results of the scan. Then go downstairs for chemo. Once all that is done, I am meeting my girlfriends for another mountain weekend. Somewhat early for the fall foliage, but will sit on the porch and enjoy the breeze. Going to be my first Cancerversary soon!

    Congrats on the good brain MRI results, Ilona!

    Yesterday, Bob caught that bug that's going around. We went out to a Piemonte winemaker dinner at Cellars tonight, and he could barely taste the wines (leaving the buying decision to me); his ears were so stuffed he left during dessert because he couldn't hear well enough to return the pages he got. I'm a bit nervous--got an important gig coming up Oct. 6 (Grove Folk Festival) and I can't afford laryngitis.

    As to the DOTD, the wines were from Piemonte, Sicily, & the Veneto. First one was a Sicilian Pinot Grigio by Barone Montalvo; next three were Piemontese by Riva Leone--Gavi, Barbera & Barbaresco; with dessert, a Bariano Brut Prosecco (more refined than most Proseccos).

    Mornin' ladies,

    Wow ur DH must have really been sick, surprised he could stay that long. But leaving the wine list up to u is the perfect choice. Yep stay away from him.

    JC u seem like u have very good attitude towards everything ur going thru now and the fact that u keep urself busy is great. Oh I know I talk about Joey a lot, but the first yr of his life my DD was very sick and he lived with me and after he spent every weekend with me and learned how to even clean my drains and was always helping me, literally waiting on me and staying close so we bonded so closely and now when he comes in my room and closes the door he wants to talk to me about very private things and we never repeat anything he talks or asks me about LOL I still call him my baby and he's 6'1'' and he agrees with me so... that's my story with him

    OK Illi u' must have been a bartender cuz u really know ur drinks. Jeez I was and don't member any drink, but the simple ones like a beer.

    Jazzy Joey is still in bed, he's so sick, Les is taking him to urgent care, I've hardly seen or talked to him he won't let me near him, brat.

    Well everyone have a good day.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday! Sadie and I got to sleep in a little after I got up at 3:30 AM yesterday. But, I had a really good early ayem with the night staff yesterday, got lots accomplished.Going in at noon and working into the evening today, hoping to get as much accomplished with the evening shift, too. The work is showing results, the documentation patterns have improved enormously in the last few weeks. It's really nice to be able to point that out to people as I go. Sadie is pretty proud of everyone, too, or so she tells me!

    Jazzy--I bet the eyes were tired by the end of the first day back at work! Glad you are taking care of yourself.

    Janky--Glad to hear youreyes are recovering well, too, and that you are taking care of yourself as you should. I'm sure the restrictions are a pain, but better to follow them now and have a good result than risk undoing the good that was done.

    Chi--I hope that Sears does put up something for protection. It's got to be cheaper to do that than to pay for damages if someone gets hurt in a situation like that one, or, God forbid, a deliberate attack situation. Sorry to hear about the train accident and how that's making Gordy's life harder. I do hope no one was hurt, but I'm with you, SOMEONE will find an injury somewhere, in someone. Sorry to hear about the meteorologist having to join our ranks, praying her journey hasn't been too hard. Ah, sparkling wines, what fun! Glad you guys had good ones!

    Cammy Cat--Yup, it is officially fall! First day of Autumn was Monday, according to the calendar over my desk. That one really snuck up on me! Sorry to hear that Joey is under the weather. I hope it passes over quickly and isn't serious. I can't help but shake my head at you taking calls in your sleep. I wish I could do stuff like that in my sleep!

    Librarian--I'm glad your PET scan went well. I tend to be grouchy with medical stuff cuz I can't have my coffee before hand. Sounds like you have gotten reasonably caught up on the carbs, if not the alcohol. I'm thinking of going to see the Downton Abby movie this weekend, if it rains like it's predicted to. I've heard good things about it.

    HOORAY FOR ILLI!HOORY FOR GOOD SCAN RESULTS!!!

    Chi--sorry to hear Bob's not well, praying you don't catch it.

    Cammy Cat--praying for Joey, let us know what you find out at Urgent care!

    No drinking tonight--possible dental emergency (which is putting me in Crazy Town), getting Happy ready to be sequestered for the night (NPO for bloodwork & ultrasound tomorrow). Electrician told me to keep this week open, so I did; landscaper dug the trench for the replacement line & conduit pipe--we had three dry days in a row. But then the electrician wasn't free till today and it'll rain tomorrow through Sun. I told him Mon. & Tues. will be dry...but we both forgot that's Rosh Hashonah. So the landscaper has to tarp over the trench to keep the line from shorting out and rendering the garage useless. (Will know more about the dental thing tomorrow after dropping Happy off at the vet and me at the Red Line station to go to the Loop; and Sat. when I see the periodontist). The dentist is more intrigued than worried, but I'm a wreck.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! Had a great evening at work yesterday, got lots and lots of progress made. Poor Sadie was sound asleep when I got home, and I'm afraid I startled her a little bit when I came in.She forgave me when I gave her a donut from the bake sale at work, though.

    Jazzy--Healing take energy, that's why you are tired this week. People don't realize how much energy it take for the body to heal itself from what seem to be small injuries or procedures.

    Illi--Aha, you're going to have a She Shed!Yeah!

    Chi--Oh no!Prayers for good and pain free treatments!

    Ilona, will it be a "chi-chi she-shed?" (Couldn't resist).

    I see the dentist today, followed immediately by the perio (who is downtown a block from the dentist)--spoke to the latter, and he says he's had patients on Prolia who've had this happen whether or not they'd had extractions, and patients who didn't take any bone drugs yet "dropped a sequestered bone fragment." Says it's not uncommon if there are torii elsewhere in the mouth (I've had one on the cheek side of my gum by my upper R molar for as long as I can remember); and even if ONJ we've likely caught it early enough to arrest further deterioration. He has a CT scanner in his office--hopefully, it won't reveal anything going on deeper in the bone requiring any procedures. (So tomorrow will just be a recliner-shopping trip).

    On the kitty front, looks like I may have been "busted." After his last feeding just before midnight, I roused Happy from his nap & sequestered him in the upstairs office (where he likes to sit on the chairs) with a litter box, water bowl, bra box (his de facto favorite bed) and dangle-toy. Shut the door as tightly as I could--latch couldn't click because of a fax phone line running along the jamb and across the threshold, so I also barricaded it with a wooden shoeshine box full of polishes & brushes. Went to bed, but when I woke up this a.m. and checked to see how well he calmed down, I was dismayed to find the box dislodged and the door open about 3-4". I had forgotten what a strong little guy that solid 11-pounder is. I cursed at myself for not emptying the kibble dishes in the kitchen (I had to keep some out for Heidi to nibble between her naps on the bed with Bob & me). Just then he slunk back upstairs with a sheepish look on his face and waltzed back into the office. I lied to the vet and said his last meal was around midnight--they're not drawing bloodwork, just sedating him well enough so he won't rip them to shreds when they pass that ultrasound wand across his belly; but if they see undigested kibble bits in his GI tract...as I said, "busted."

    Good Morning everyone! Met with the MO this morning. The PET scan was excellent! No sign of cancer in the breast or lung. We will continue Abraxane until mid-December, then start 2020 chemofree. I asked him if I had been misdiagnosed and he said no. Rather I have had a wonderful reaction to the medication. We talked about some supplements. He does not seem to favor much of that. Talks about how there has not been much research done on humans with good results. Guess I will look at trials supporting supplements and continue doing research into things.

    We went to see the Downton Abbey movie yesterday. About halfway through the projector (or whatever they use) broke and could not be fixed. We did get a voucher to return on another day. I ran into several librarians I used to work with. It was fun to chat with them and catch up on how life had been treating them.

    Off to the mountains after chemo. I cannot wait to sit on the porch with a glass of wine and watch the shadows move across the ridges. Hope all have a great weekend!

    Yay for negative PET scan, JCS! Enjoy the wine and the scenery (I grew up in Brooklyn and lived in Seattle 7 yrs) and I miss mountains so much that I MUST have an annual mountain "fix," be they the Catskills, Appalachians (especially Smokies/Blue Ridge), Berkshires, Sierras, Cascades or those surrounding Vegas. Chicago is SOOOO flat!

    ChiSandy - I'm supposed to start Prolia as soon as insurance pre-approves it - scares me to hear about your tooth problems. I really need to be on something as my bone density has decreased 4.5% since the last one - and I've been osteoporotic for a few years. Hope all went well with dentist and periodentist.

    Janky & JCS--you need to clink virtual champagne flutes across the border!

    Everything's ok with my mouth. Dentist said the fragment (pictured below) looks like tooth, not bone; and that it likely broke off one of the two abscessed teeth in July 2018 (after I crunched down on a pizza crust in NYC) and took up residence in my palatal arch, causing the sore to which the abscess eventually spread. Makes sense: the night of the day after, the sore and that tooth were so painful I couldn't chew steak or sourdough bread on that side, and until we figured out about the abscess and I got the root canals I was afraid it was loosening. After the root canals, tooth-colored acrylic fillings were placed over them, I had some antibiotics, and the sore healed for awhile until that piece decided to work its way out of my mouth. OTOH, the periodontist is sure it's necrotic bone--but not from ONJ, as the CT scan showed no degenerative bone changes since July 2018, and there weren't any then. He says this kind of thing happens a lot to older patients who have torii, and not to freak out if it happens again. He says the tooth looks normal on the CT so the fragment couldn't have been tooth--but the dentist countered that the acrylic filling shows up the same as enamel & dentin on a CT. At any rate, I'm not losing any teeth anytime soon (barring trauma). In fact, the orthodontia made the two root-canaled teeth much more secure--no wiggles. Whew!

    He says he sees occasional ONJ in implant patients who weren't honest with him about taking bisphosphonates or Prolia. But he's still relieved that I'm finished with bone meds (knock wood).

    And Happy? No liver or pancreas enlargement nor masses. Some mild inflammation of the intestines--not rising to the level of feline Crohn's but definitely kitty-irritable-bowel syndrome. Treatment? More frequent smaller feedings of a prescription digestive-soothing wet food, and a daily probiotic--which we're already doing. He did puke a bit when we brought him home, because he ate everything that wasn't nailed down and still begged for more (then ate some of the wheatgrass that he & Heidi battle over and erped up a hairball).

    So everything's back to normal here. Bob got home early, so we had leftovers supplemented with a Caprese made from one of our homegrown tomatoes. DOTD: St. Supery Napa Cab. Sauv. 2015.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Lovely weekend shaping up here, and I thought it was going to be rainy this weekend! Got the stitched out of my hand last night, now it's much less sore than it has been. It's definitely going to leave a mark, though. Oh, well, at least it's on my hand and not on my face, right? Every day when I take the bandage off and clean it up Sadie has to come over and sniff it and check it out for herself. I probably trust her nose more than I trust just about anything else to pick up signs of infection early!

    Chi--sounds like Happy is not only a strong little guy but a bit of an escape artist, too! Hope this testing goes well.

    Librarian--HOORAY FOR A GOOD PET SCAN AND GOOD TREATMENT RESULTS!!!Sorry to hear about the projector breaking down. I think I'm going to go see Downton Abby after the bean suppah tonight, if the timing works out right.

    Jazzy--That's a different traffic hazard to content with!

    Janky--ANOTHER HOORAY FOR GOOD SCAN AND TEST RESULTS!!!

    Karen--praying your insurance moves quickly and you get the pre-auth soon!

    Jazzy-- good to hear the recovery is going well!

    Chi--wow, that is a lot of dental stuff to have going on. Glad to hear you aren't losing any teeth, though. And glad to hear Happy is doing well!

    We had a high here today of 60. Same tomorrow, with rain. Monday, 84. Tues., 80. By Fri., high of maybe 58. Welcome to Chicago's shoulder-season roller coaster: spring & fall consist of winter & summer duking it out till the next season wins.

    No alc. today—DOTD was an unsweetened blood orange seltzer with full-spectrum CBD (half-can over ice, 20mg in a full can). No hemp taste at all, but little fruit taste either. At least my back feels better. A note to those whose job requires drug testing: even the allowable .03% of THC in a full-spectrum CBD product is fat-soluble and can accumulate—it has a 4-week half-life, even if it's producing no effect whatsoever. Here In IL, a school bus driver lost her job when she took CBD oil that she didn't know had any THC. Both the courts and the legislature are being hidebound dinosaurs and refusing to rescind their zero-tolerance laws for THC, not even willing to set a limit above which one is presumed to be impaired, like alcohol which is .08. Our Governor campaigned on and signed the law making recreational marijuana legal come Jan. 2020–so I'm going to write him to urge the Assembly down in Springfield to reconsider and set a limit, and will do the same for my state legislators, alderman, and mayor. Meanwhile, before you buy (certainly before you ingest), go to the product's website and check the third-party lab test report—if it's truly THC-free, the report will say so.

    IMHO, it's insane that you can safely get drunk or take a muscle relaxant or even an opioid the night before and not be deemed impaired the next day, but toke or even take a full-spectrum CBD product once and then fail a drug test 4 weeks later! (I actually had to defend just such a DUI—in order to keep my client from getting convicted, we had to agree to state-certified “drug school"—the same substance abuse counseling program as opioid, heroin, speed or cocaine users are assigned—and a fine twice my legal fee)
